The gardener (11:00) -- The library (5:00).
Summary:
The gardener: "Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city, where she goes to stay with her Uncle Jim, a cantankerous baker. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers' faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece - an ambitious rooftop garden - which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile."--Container. The library: "Elizabeth Brown doesn't like to play with dolls, and she doesn't like to skate. What she does like to do is read books. Lots of them, all the time. Over the years, her collection has grown to such enormous proportions that there's not even room in Elizabeth's house for Elizabeth. The way she solves the problem will warm the hearts of book lovers, young and old."--Container.
